VW to introduce Golf BlueMotion at Frankfurt

Volkswagen will be using next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show to debut the first BlueMotion version of its popular Golf hatch, which will star alongside five other BlueMotion cars planned for the show. BlueMotion is VW’s title for its ultra-efficient diesel range, which combines not only a fuel-sipping diesel engine but several other fuel-saving technologies as well.

Nice vechicle for Europe but very underpowered for USA market.
Now they could make a more powerful version but I don't see them making that anytime soon.
